MAN CAN WALK UPON WATER Invention of 8t. Louis Man That "-. Suggested by 8lnklng of Titanic No Aid to Swimmer. August Bommerfleld, an Inventor, has perfocted and patented an Inven tion enabling htm to walk across tho Mississippi as rapidly as a pedestrian could make bis way across Eada btidgo, says a St. Louis correspondent Sommorileld has spent many weoks on tho Mississippi and on Crovo Coeur lake. lie says It was originated for life saving. Tho Invention conslstn of a canvas covered pneumatic tubo that Is pump ed up llko an automobile tiro. It fits under tho arms, extending entirely around tho body, and Is hold In placo by a belt around tho waist and straps over tho shouldors. Used In connection with a webber arrangement fastened to tho ankles, tho wearer of tho air bolt Is able to walk as rapidly as though on land. Ho has experimented with It ns an aid to duck hunter's There Ib but llttlo re coil from a heavy shotgun flrud whllo the hunter is poised In tho water. Tho Invention was suggested to Somorllold by tho sinking of tho Ti tanic. It 1b not Intended as an aid to swlmmors. DIRTY PLAYING HURTS GAME CHAIR IS A LIFE PRESERVER Contrivance Also Can Be Used for a Washstand or Mattress Canvas Is Filled With Cork. An Englishman has shown tho fer tility of hla Imagination by Inventing a steamer chair that is also a Ufo preserver, a wash stand and a mnt tross. Tho framework of tho chair Is llko that of other steamer chairs, without tho foot rest, but tho body of it Is a roll of cork-flllcd canvas, swung loosely enough to give and afford a comfortable reclining sent I)y turn ing tho chair upsldo dowu, the In ventor claims, it enn bo transformed Into a very handy washstand, whllo by removing tho canvas and laying It flat on deck or floor a fair aubstltuto for a mattress is provided. All tho Football Facing Its Doom Because of Unnecessary and Unfair Rough ness, Says George Hoff. "The exlstenco of football will bo threatened, sooner or lator, unless a growing tendency to forget the lesson of some years back and return to tho practices which put tho sport on trial for its life Is checked." This is the recent declaration of Athletic Director George lion' of Illi nois university, and ono of tho best known mon In the nthlotlo world. In explanation ho says: "I rofer to Unnecessary and unfair roughness. I do not crltlc'lzo hard play ing, and football as a mattor of fact Is rough. But I havo notlcod a grad ual introduction of the'samo tactics which nearly cost the colleges their favorite game. "This year I have soon 'neck wring ing.' I havo seen players drag tholr feet over tho head of an opponent 'Piling up,' oven when easily soon to bo unnecessary, goes unrebuked. "The blame for tho oxlatence of this tendency is to bo placed on the heads of unscrupulous coachos and compla cent gridiron officials. It Is a matter of common report in tho football camps of tho middle west institutions that certain coaches mako no bones of oncournglng their mon to lamo and to slug if they can get away with It. Thoir linesmen threaten and curse their opponents, hoping to lead them Into a display of honest and almost Justifiable physical retaliation. "For tho most part western ofllclala havo ceasod to pay any attention to unnecessary roughness. 'Let 'em light It out Booms to bo tho Implied attitude' of many officials, especially tho younger ones. And tho team that attempts, to bo square gets the worst of It. I am a believer in football aa a square, manly sport, If properly super vised. I would regret to seo it lost, but I firmly bollovo that after success with tho new style of gamo all will go for naught unless coaches and ofllclals see that tho practices I mention aro eliminated." DARTMOUTH HAS MOST BRILLIANT ATTACK FARMAN'S HYDRO-AEROPLANE Boat Rortlon of Machine Has' More the Appearance of Ordinary Rowboat Than Do Others.

RECOGNIZE ONE'S OWN VOICE Scientist Says Man Uoes Not See Him self as Others Do, Neither Does He Hear Himself. Laloy, who appears to lmvo scientifi cally investigated tho mattor nssures us that not only does otto not seo him self ns othors seo him, but that ho does not hear himself as others hear him. Somo interesting experiments wero mado by tho Fronch saVant in this connection, according to Loudon Tlt-Dlts. In order to ascertain whother a man really know tho sound of his own voice, Laloy has been at somo pains to determlno the facts. Hla experi ments show that If a person record on a phonograph disk a few sentences pronounced by hlmsolf, togothor with others recorded by friends, and causes tho machino to roproduco those, It most frequently happons that tho man moro easily recognizes tho voices of his friends than ho does his own. It appears that tho difference Ilea In tho quality of tho tone. Ono hears Ills own voice not only through tho ulr, as do his auditors, but across the solid partR botween tho organs of speech and thoso of hearing. Tho sound thus produced has a different tlmbor from that conducted to tho oar by tho air below. If ono entertain any doubt as to this, lot him try tho following experi ments. Take tho end of a woodon rod betwoen tho tooth and pronounce a vowol continuously. Lot tho other end bo takoi alternately T)otwecn tho tooth and released by another per son who at the same timo stops hla ears, iiio latter win una mat every timo ho seizes tho rod In hla teeth tho sound will bo atrongor than when It reaches tho air above, and that It has a different quality. Tho paBsago of sound through a solid body,, aug ments its ltncnBlty and modtlleu Its quality. Gilo of Princeton practicing toe work on the pigskin.

For tho second successive year, Princeton fell beforo tho onslaught of Dartmouth's fighting football squad and for the secondtlme, Loudon, Dart mouth's human battering ram in hla position at right end, helped to put a crimp In Princeton's aspirations of downing Dartsmouth.

English 'Woman Wins ' $8,250 on Two Races The Cambridgeshire handicap, tho last big race of tho year, was marked not only by tho queen's visit to Newmarket, but by ono of those lucky shots which Are tho ambitions of the punters.
